I search your horizon
For where to begin
Meadow to forest to sky
My thoughts are no longer
Mine alone…
And I no longer ask why
They are tied and tangled with you
I am quite helpless
And breathless
Not certain what I can do…
Only write them
One lovely word at a time
Working slowly
At the knot
Unable to see
Where I leave off
Where you pick up
Is this word for you
Or from me
How often my heart
Bends to the breeze
A whisper of silken thread
Woven amidst
your satin sky
A pillow to adorn
Our dreamy bed
I write and write
With gentle hand
As the clock ticks away
Across timeless land
First my word
Then yours
There’s never any use
As the sun crashes
Into the ocean of night
We are still tangled
You and me
My heart gives a tender sigh
After all…
It’s the way true love
Is meant to be…
